fabian prewett 7th year ravenclaw the better twin

Bonkers was definitely one of the better words she’d heard used to describe her and it definitely put a smile on her face the way Fabian said it. 

She turned on her heels as they walked, spinning around to face him with an offended expression. A few fifth years had to swerve around her as she stalked backward. “And here I thought you’d be flattered just to be alone with me, bad smells and all. Didn’t realize you were so picky, Prewett.”  She rolled her eyes at his wink, biting her lip subconsciously. “Especially when you carry a broom in that bad of a condition. Or am I not up to your standard?” She turned back to face frontward, picking up her pace so that he’d have to chase her just a little.

The fifth years Mary had almost walked into gave Fabian dirty looks, as if it were his fault she was doing this. He returned their looks before speeding up to catch up with Mary. “M’not picky, I just have taste!” It wasn’t hard to match her speed, but he was tired enough from practice, did she have to be speed walking? “Oy, leave my broom out of it - it’s a piece of shit but it does the job.” he glanced at his broom, well past the point of feeling self-conscious about how it looked. “Where are you going?”

“A saying like ‘Honesty is the key to success’? I’m sure it wasn’t too bad, you seem to be doing alright. So she can’t have been too wrong with your upbringing, can she?”

“That’s not a bad saying.” he shook his head, “Nah, my mum’s actually pretty great. Hey- Maybe I’ll include that in my next letter home! ‘Endorsed by a Shacklebolt!’ She’d get a kick outta that.”

“If you think she’s bonkers, remind me never to tell you about the other places I’ve found myself waking up in.” Mary couldn’t even surprise Pomfrey anymore. She could turn up in a full-body rash after sleeping among poisonous plants and the woman wouldn’t even blink twice. 

She felt her eyes drifting down his body as he shifted position and she caught herself, her cheeks nearly giving her away by tinting a soft shade of pink. Had she been admiring him? She pushed the thoughts aside immediately, surprised at herself. They’d been friends for so long and she’d never once let her mind wander like that. Must be the sleep still wearing off, she figured. 

In her internal struggle, she’d only managed to catch the last of his words and she smirked, leaning back against the door. “What do you mean, leave? The closet’s big enough for the both of us, Fab. But if you insist…” She made a slow move to head towards the kitchen, expecting him to give her a shove and a telling off for messing with him. 

“No, no, don’t worry - I think you’re plenty bonkers too, mate.” Mary’s ability to fall asleep literally anywhere at any time was somehow both terrifying and admirable; bonkers was also a perfectly valid word to describe it. 

Was she... Was that flirting? Was she flirting with him? Or was he making that up? Fabian knew he could be a bit of a daft asshole when it came to flirting, but he was pretty sure that was flirting. It didn’t help that Mary was just charming in general, to be fair. “It’s not, though. It’s a closet, and it kind of smells. It’s okay to admit you want alone time with lil ol’ me, Mac, you don’t need to resort to a broom closet!” He settled on joking, throwing a wink her way for good measure as he made an averagely-sped move towards the kitchen.

marymacfairy‌:

“A whole file? I’m flattered you think I’m so important, Fab.” Truth be told, Pomfrey did have a whole file on Mary. She’d seen it at the start of the year - it was hilariously large and she felt an abnormal sense of pride whenever she witnessed the woman hauling it out. 

Her eyes flicked down to examine the broomstick, noting the little dents here and there. “As much as I’d love to watch it explode, you’re probably right. Wouldn’t want Ravenclaw’s star player off the field, anyway. I’d get the blame and I don’t have the mental energy to be hounded by your teammates.” As if on cue, she let out a yawn. “And do not tempt me with that idea, you’re underestimating the lengths I’ll go to for a decent nap.”

“T’be fair, she’s probably got files on everyone. The woman’s a little bonkers. And I mean that in the best way!” Having had his fair share of injuries from both Quidditch games and his own ‘creative mind,’ as he liked to put it, Pomfrey saved his ass plenty of times. She also made him drink nasty healing potions that could have easily been tastier with an added ingredient or two and then gave him a dirty look when he mentioned that. They had a rocky relationship, Fabian and Madame Pomfrey. 

“Ravenclaw’s star player? Now who’s flattering who, Macdonald?” He leaned his broom against his shoulder, imagining that he looked decently cool. “Yeah, on second thought, cushioning charm to the head isn’t the best idea for you. I take it back. Might try it on m’self, though! Now, c’mon, let’s get out of here before you decide to crawl back into that closet.”

task 003: boggart & patronus

BOGGART:

      Fabian’s boggart is Molly and Gideon’s dead bodies, which makes for a super awkward emo DADA class moment. He would just literally kill and/or die for those two, so of course his biggest fear would be the two of them dying. The first time he saw a boggart freaked the shit out of him and he was a bit shook up for a while, but he knows it isn’t real and that’s how he shakes himself out of literally seeing his siblings dead. 

       When casting riddikulus, he imagines the two of them in the most stupid outfits - An Easter Bunny costume, a ballerina outfit, an official judge uniform, a very good Albus Dumbledore cosplay - it changes depending on whatever he thinks of first. 

PATRONUS: 

       When thinking of his happiest memory in order to cast a patronus, Fab thinks of the first time he successfully - intentionally - performed magic. Magic shows up in kids all the time before they attend Hogwarts, with toys flying or blankets moving in ways non-magical children can’t quite manage. Intent takes a bit longer, and when Fabian was about eight or nine he was able to purposefully summon the cookies from on top of the fridge, where they were supposed to be kept out of reach. He remembers how happy he felt to be able to do something he saw his parents do all the time, and how funny it felt that his parents were both so angry at him for taking the cookies but also quite proud of him.. It’s a really good memory to him.   

       His patronus is a bloodhound! It represents how steadfast he is, never really giving up on anything he does no matter how important or how stupid it might be, and how friendly and loving he can be. He’s pretty good at casting his patronus now, seeing as he spent an annoying amount of time practicing once he learned what it was and how supposedly hard it was to cast. He loves a good challenge!

“C’mon.” With breakfast coming to an end, Fabian grabbed Orion’s arm before he could leave the Ravenclaw table. “We are gonna do something fun. I dunno what yet, but we’re gonna do something, because you’re being weird, and I don’t like it.”

Mary pushed down Fabian’s fingers with a laugh, not realizing her touch lingered for a few moments longer than it should have. “I think Pomfrey would argue I lost it a long time ago. One of these days I might just end up agreeing with her, she’d probably pass out from the horror of it.” For her first few years at the school, Pomfrey had been convinced there was something wrong with Mary. Because, well, sleeping in broom closets and under desks wasn’t exactly the normal student thing to do. 

“Excuse you, Fabian Prewett, you’re the one that kicked me and woke me up. If you can’t accept that I’m the smart one in this relationship then there’s the door,” She motioned to the broom closet door, a teasing smile on her face. “And to think, I was just going to offer to demonstrate my intelligence by putting a cushioning charm on your broom.”

He thought he noticed that she seemed to hold on slightly longer than would be normal, but he was probably just making it up - that was just Mary being Mary, surely. Not a big deal. “You’re lucky Pomfrey’s got bigger fish to fry, or else you’d absolutely be her biggest case. She’s probably got a whole file on you.” 

“Wouldn’t’ve woke you up if you weren’t in the way.” he pointed out. “My broomstick’s been through so much shit, I dunno if that would do any good.” This wasn’t an exaggeration - the broom itself was cheap, a hand-me-down, and regardless of whatever its prior owners may have done to it Fabian had attempted so many charms in an attempt to improve it he was lucky it still flew. “You ever try just putting a cushioning charm on your own head? It’d kill the middleman.”

          “Excuse me? No one has ever called me boring.” Lia tilted her head to the side. “I’ve been called a lot of things, but never boring.” Causing trouble seemed like a better idea than sitting around doing homework. “I really don’t. I’ve already gotten into trouble for flying around the castle on my broom this week. Got anything interesting?” 

“I’m not calling you boring, Mr. Prewett is. Take it up with him!” Fabian shrugged, not too worried about his dad’s beliefs on boredom.” He thought hard about Lia’s question, “We could sneak into the Forbidden Forest, befriend the gnomes I saw hanging out near the Quidditch pitch, go bother Peeves, find some cocky third-years to duel, pretend we’re prefects and give out fake detentions, I’ve got some new spells I’ve been working on that we could test out - but no promises they’ll work, there’s a mermaid in the Black Lake I’m convinced is in love with me we could visit.” he shrugged again, not sure himself which of those were honest suggestions and which were jokes, “We’ve got options!”  

[fabxfabian]

marymacfairy‌:

“You know it’s a good nap when you don’t even remember your own name, Fab.” She gave him a toothy smile, her nose scrunching. He looked positively odd from her position on the floor, his face upside down as it hovered over hers. She reached up and gratefully took his extended hand, letting him help her to her feet.

“Well then, maybe I’m just weird enough to enjoy sleeping on the floor,” she shrugged, “Or maybe I’m smarter than you and I thought to cast a cushioning charm on the rug before I slept on it. You’ll never know.”

“You sure you’re not ill?” he joked, “Bit concerning that you know my name but not your own. Should I get Pomfrey, tell her you finally lost it? How many fingers am I holding up?” Fabian held up three fingers once she was standing, a look of exaggerated concern on his face.  

“I’d bet money you didn’t.” he flashed her a grin. Not that he had any money to bet, and he actually wouldn’t be that surprised if she had cast a cushioning charm one the rug of some random broom closet. “The audacity of a Gryffindor to say she’s smarter than me - I should’ve just left you here!”

A sharp thud against her foot woke Mary from her sleep and she drowsily opened her eyes, stifling a yawn. What time was it? She’d expected to find herself in her bed with her room-mate standing over her, pillow in hand ready to strike if she didn’t rouse. She didn’t expect to find Fabian staring down at her with a confused expression.

Broom closet? What? Her hazy gaze took in her surroundings and she let out a laugh, the realization that she’d somehow passed out in a broom closet hitting her. She let her head thump back against the floor. “You ought to try it sometime, it’s much comfier than you’d expect. Although I can’t say I remember actually falling asleep in here.” Not that it bothered her, it wasn’t the first time.

“How do you fall asleep in a broom closet and not remember? You good?” Fabian tilted his head nearly upside down, looking Mary in the eyes as she laid her head back on the floor, “I don’t think it is, actually. It’s literally just a floor, and I’ve slept on a decent amount of floors and that shit’s never comfortable. Come on, at least go sleep in a chair or something.” he held out the hand not currently holding his broom, offering her some help up.  

[fabxfabian]

Quidditch practice had just ended, and Fabian was headed back to his dorm when he tripped over... a foot? Luckily, the foot was connected to a body, which just happened to be slumped - but breathing, he made sure to check for that, she was just sleeping thank Merlin because he didn’t know what he would do with a body - in a broom closet, of all places. 

“You know this is a closet, yeah? Are you... Is this comfortable for you?”

How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it?

Honestly, Fabian will throw out “I love you”s like crazy. Family, friends, etc. He knows it weighs a little differently when it comes to romantic shit, so he holds back a bit more there, but tbh he’s probably always the first to say “I love you” in any relationship just because the boy really does love super easily!!

‘‘We could turn you into a pretty blonde girl.’‘ Doe suggested, a grin on her face. ‘‘Get a few minions to do the work for you. Either way, no one can deny that your hair is almost better than a pretty blonde girl.’‘

“You ever have Polyjuice? It’s nasty. Would really like to not ever deal with that again unless I have to, an army isn’t worth it.” His nose crinkled as he remembered the taste of the potion. Up until this point he had been joking, but that was fully serious - the shit was gross. His expression quickly shifted back once she complimented his hair, “This is why I keep you around. My fragile ego needs you, Meadowes. My hair is pretty killer, isn’t it?”

          “Okay… I know that looked bad, but I’m a prefect and if my friends want to use the prefect’s bathroom, I’m not going to give them detention for it.” Honestly no one cared for the most part. There were some prefects that did however, get mad when their bathroom had students that weren’t prefects. 

“I literally couldn’t care less about reporting you for letting your friends use your bathroom, mate, don’t worry about it.” Fabian laughed, then nodded towards the prefect bathroom, “That means I get access too, yeah?”

          “Merlin… I’m very, very bored. Isn’t there something fun to do around here? Do you want find something entertaining to do? Cause some trouble. What’s the point of school if you don’t have a bit of fun?” 

“Only boring people get bored.” Fabian shared the quote his father was an incredibly big fan of, the sarcasm in his voice apparent. “Except, you’re right, tonight’s boring as hell.” he straightened up, a grin on his face, “Of course I want to cause some trouble. You got something in mind?”

“She’s a rather huge supporter of the whole “let the world in and the world will let you in” movement. It does have its nice moments but… well.” She shrugged. “Don’t tell me your mother didn’t have any sayings.”

He gave Seraphina a teasing look, “And who am I to argue with your mother? Nah, my mum’s more of the ‘tell it how it is’ type. Really great when you just started puberty and could have probably used one of those sayings, instead of embarrassing reality.”
